Picturing Union Station
May 30th, 2008 · 4 Comments
Photographers’ rights in the D.C. metro area are seemingly on the wane in recent years. Last summer, a photographer was stopped from taking pictures in the newly redeveloped downtown Silver Spring; the incident led to a mass gathering of area photogs on July 4. (Independence Day, almost appropriately enough.) Since then, it was ruled that [...]

Younger than McCain
May 20th, 2008 · Comments Off
The other night, presidential hopeful John McCain appeared on “Saturday Night Live” and said Americans should vote for someone who is “very, very, very old.” To get an idea of just how old McCain really is without looking up his date of birth, why not compare his age to concepts, products and other items younger [...]

California’s State Ban on Gay Marriage Unconstitutional
May 15th, 2008 · 2 Comments
The headline pretty much says it all. After a years-long battle, California’s Supreme Court ruled today that the state’s ban on same-sex marriages is unconstitutional. This makes California the second state to allow same-sex marriages, nearly four years to the day that same-sex couples in Massachusetts were granted the right to marry.
Prior to the 2004 [...]
